Jerome I. Friedman (March 28, 1930-present) - Also a gifted artist, Friedman turned down a scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago to attend the University of Chicago and study under Enrico Fermi. Friedman's decision ultimately led him to the 1990 Nobel Prize in Physics for his part in pioneering investigations concerning deep inelastic scattering of electrons on protons and bound neutrons, which have been of essential importance for the development of the quark model in particle physics. He is an Institute Professor at M.I.T.
